This is very cool Doug. Great mixing and sampling.
I play similar tracks on my radio show in Adelaide, Australia.
Thanks for posting.

I actually prefer the first one of this series (link below), as far as its musical qualities go. It inspired my wife to go back and rewatch Sagan’s COSMOS series.
That was wondrous as well, Cronos6939, thanks!
LLP,

That absolutely gives me chills, Cronos, and always has done. I love it, with my heartses.
Wow. These are amazingly well done. I remember the first time I saw “thee spaceship of the mind”. These evoke that same rush. Thank you, thank you.
Beautiful!
Yeah, that’s how we roll…

Those were awesome!
Dig Feynman -
Go daddy-o, go! *snaps fingers* *SNAP* *SNAP* *SNAP* *SNAP*
Got my first set o’ bongos from my beat-nik dad, eh.
LLP,
deg
Wowzers!! Let’s see you playing yours, deg!
Woo! Look at those hands fly!! That was incredible!
As odd as it sounds to me even, this piece really moved me. I grew up watching Carl Sagan in ‘Cosmos’ and know two of the other three well from modern programs. Great words. Very great words.
Loved the vid! It is mind bending to think about our place in all of it.
I don’t force my beliefs on anyone, but after watching that, I can’t help but think that “I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
You’re a sweet girl, De
You certainly are. My beliefs also resonate with the wonder of the cosmos. It is amazing to think that our minds are equipped to understand the laws of nature and explore the beauty around us. To me the evolution of the stars and life in our universe cannot simply be a random occurrence.
Thanks, boys. I try!
My head just exploded.
Nothing else to add to the words, except, may be, woow!
“We are a way for the universe to know itself”
Maan!
I just remembered those nights as a teenager watching “Cosmos”. For me Sagan was the first Scientific poet.
He made it all so reachable, so understandable, so desirable. So lovable.
And the music transmits a very particular peace that, other than clash with the text, takes it for a joyfull ride.
Very enjoyable.
Thanks, thanks, thanks you all so very much Maria, Cronos6939 and Doug for shearing

Have you ever noticed that Herman Zimmerman looks like Richard Feynman?
The last couple of weeks I’ve been playing these in a loop while working. Really inspirational and thought provoking. I’ve also been trying to work the phrase “if you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe” into an everyday conversation.
Would love to watch one of the series these clips are cut from.
Truly incredible. It’s amazing and very humbling to stop and think about our place in the universe, to stop and stare at the moon on a clear night and imagine what it must be like to look down on our planet and then out to the cosmos beyond. Is it possible for your heart to ache like you miss a place that you’ve never been? Right there with you, Dea!
Thanks so much for sharing everyone!
I discovered that myself only a few days ago. It’s truly amazing – great communicators of science managing to encapsulate what is so important, necessary and beautiful about trying to understand the universe.
I watch/listen to Cosmos pretty much every morning while I get ready for work. Kind of a habit I got into. It is just as prescient today. Carl Sagan was so far ahead of his time.
Au
Those were nice videos.
These are all just wonderful. And being such a Feynman fan, seeing him is simply the cherry on top. Amazing all of it, I find myself playing these over and over.
PS
Doug, after seeing your Feyman poster I was compelled to go hunt one down, and now Feynman graces the wall in my house too.
Wow, that totally, totally knocked my socks off. I am sockless right now. Very, very nicely done, both musically and cosmically. I’ll say it again – Wow!
no sock-puppets or sock-monkies for you then Jay, I guess…
LLP,
deg
As a wise old country doctor once said, “In this galaxy, there’s a mathematical probability of three million earth-type planets. And in all of the universe, three million million galaxies like this. And in all of that, and perhaps more, only one of each of us.” Cosmic thoughts, gentlemen.
Not sure exactly what that has to do with socks or lack thereof…
But have fun ramblin’ on there cosmic crazy like, old man… :p

Just bringing it back around to the topic, brother deg.
Speaking of Sagan… The first ever Carl Sagan Day is happening in Florida on 11/7 on what would ahve been his 75th birthday.
